1 Important safety information

This section includes safety information that

will help protection from risks of personal

injuries or materialistic damages. Failure

to follow these instructions shall cause

any warranty and reliability commitment to

become void.

General safety

• Never place the machine on a carpet-

covered floor, otherwise, lack of airflow

beneath the machine may cause electrical

parts to overheat. This will cause problems

with your machine.

• If the power cable or mains plug is

damaged, you must call qualified electrician

for repair.

• The product should not be plugged in

during installation, maintenance and repair

works. Such works should always be made

by the technical service. Manufacturer

shall not be held responsible for damages

arising from processes carried out by any

unauthorised persons.

• Connect the product to a grounded outlet

protected by a fuse of suitable capacity as

stated in the technical specifications table.

• Operate your product at temperatures

between +5°C and +35°C.

• Do not use electrical devices in the product.

• Do not connect the air exit of the product

to the chimney holes which are used for the

exhaust fumes of the devices operating with

gas or other types of fuel.

• You must provide enough ventilation in

order to prevent gases exiting from devices

operating with other types of fuels including

the naked flame from accumulating in the

room due to the back fire effect.

• Always clean the lint filter before or after

each loading.

• Never operate your dryer without the

lint filter installed.

• Do not allow fibre, dust and dirt

accumulation around the exhaust exit and

at adjacent areas.

• Power cable plug must be within easy

reach after installation.

• Do not use extension cords, multi-plugs

or adaptors to connect the dryer to power

supply in order to decrease the risk of

electric shock.

• Do not make any changes on the plug

supplied with the product. If it is not

compatible with the socket, have a qualified

electrician change the socket with a

suitable one.

• Items cleaned or washed with gasoil/fuel oil,

dry-laundry solvents and other combustible

or explosive materials as well as the items

that are contaminated or spotted with such

materials should not be dried in the product

since they emit flammable or explosive

vapor.

• Do not dry items cleaned with industrial

chemicals in the dryer.

• Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.

• Items soiled with cooking oils, acetone,

alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain remover,

turpentine, paraffin and paraffin removers

must be washed in hot water with plenty of

detergent before being dried in the dryer.

• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber

foam (latex foam), shower bonnets, water

resistant textiles, materials with rubber

reinforcement and rubber foam pads should

not be dried in the dryer.

• Do not use fabric softeners and anti-static

products unless they are recommended by

the manufacturers of the fabric softener or

the product.

• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,

especially when exposed to heat sources

such as in a tumble dryer. The items

become warm, causing an oxidation

reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat.

If the heat cannot escape, the items can

become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,

stacking or storing oil-affected items can

prevent heat from escaping and so create a

fire hazard.

• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain

vegetable or cooking oil or have been

contaminated by hair care products be

placed in a tumble dryer they should first be

washed in hot water with extra detergent

- this will reduce, but not eliminate, the

hazard.

• This product must be grounded. Grounding

installation decreases the risk of electric

shock by opening a path with low

resistance for the electricity flow in case of

a malfunction or failure. Power cable of this

product is equipped with a conductor and

a grounding plug that allows for grounding

the product. This plug must be installed

appropriately and inserted into a socket

which is grounded in accordance with the

local laws and regulations.

operate the machine if the power cable or

plug is damaged!

• Never attempt to repair the machine

yourself, otherwise, you will be putting your

life and others’ lives in danger.

• For malfunctions that cannot be solved by

following the information given in the safety

instructions:

Turn off the machine, disconnect the power

cord and contact an Beko Service.

• Do not stop the dryer before the drying

cycle comes to an end unless you
